Evangelical Crivella was also the one ordering inspectors to remove comic book from stands at Rio’s International Book Fair in September 2019, calling the publication unfit to be seen by children and unsuitable for minors.

The Marvel Comic Book the mayor criticized, The Avengers – The Children’s Crusade, shows two adult male characters, Wiccano and Hulking, kissing. In the plot the two are boyfriends and have a stable relationship. Both characters were clothed.
